After testing the Anti-Theft Blink Doorbell Mount for weeks, I can confidently say it's a game-changer for renters and security-conscious homeowners. The no-drill design saved my apartment door from permanent damage, and the anti-theft clip gave me peace of mind in my high-foot-traffic neighborhood.
What I Loved:
- Installation was stupid easy - took me 3 minutes flat following their video guide. The clamp system works perfectly on my 1.5" thick door.
- Actually deters thieves - unlike exposed doorbells, you need to know the special twist motion to remove it. My delivery guys have tried (and failed) to adjust it!
- Versatile positioning - works whether your door opens left or right, and the angle keeps my Blink Doorbell 4's motion detection flawless.
Reality Checks:
- The fit is slightly loose (those foam inserts help but feel temporary). In freezing Chicago winters, I did have one scare where the unit almost slipped out.
- Battery changes are a PAIN - requires complete disassembly. Pro tip: Use lithium batteries that last longer.
- The interior bolt protrudes awkwardly. I ended up sawing mine down after snagging three sweaters on it.
Perfect For:
- Apartments/dorms where drilling isn't allowed
- Storm doors (though some users report fit issues)
- Frequent travelers who want to easily relocate their doorbell
Skip If:
- You need ultra-tight security (while theft-resistant, a determined thief could break it)
- You change batteries frequently (the design makes this overly complicated)
The mount isn't perfect, but at this price point with this much convenience, it's earned a permanent spot on my door. Just wish they'd refine the battery access design in future versions!
